How to Stay in Seoul Hotels on Points
A year-round capital
Seoul stays busy with business and tourism through the year, so central cash rates hold firm and climb around major events and peak travel seasons. Its standout for points is a deep Hyatt lineup, headlined by the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Seoul, where the fixed Hyatt chart turns a high cash rate into a predictable points cost.
The cards and transfer partners to use
Hyatt is the headline and is reached only through Chase Ultimate Rewards or Bilt, so a Chase Sapphire Preferred or the Bilt card is the route to the Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt. Marriott, including the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton, comes through Amex, Chase, and Bilt, and Hilton, including the Conrad, through Amex or Bilt. See which cards transfer to hotels.
The Hyatt card seals a Seoul trip
Given the Hyatt depth, the World of Hyatt card earns directly and adds a yearly free night that suits a Seoul stay. For the other chains, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and Hilton Honors cards work too. Check award space on rooms.aero. See best cities for hotel points.
